Financial Aid

Welcome to the the home of Kodiak College Financial Aid!

Confused about how to go about getting help paying for school?  Applying for financial aid is a multi-step process so it's best to start the process as early as possible before you plan to start school.

Federal Financial Aid (FAFSA)

STEP ONE - File your FAFSA! Click here for information on how to apply for federal financial aid.  This is how you apply for the Pell Grant, student loans and work-study.

Even if you don't think you will qualify for grants, or don't desire to take out loans, having a FAFSA on file is required to be considered for state grants and university scholarships. 

Every student should file a FAFSA!

Scholarships & Other Funding Sources

STEP TWO - Click here to research and apply for scholarships and other types of supplemental financial aid.  These include campus-based scholarships and tuition waivers, University of Alaska scholarships, community and tribal scholarships, and potential regional and national funding opportunities.

Scholarships are based on a variety of criteria, and not all require financial need or a perfect GPA. 

Good Luck!

VA Education Benefits

STEP THREE - If you are a veteran or qualified dependent, you may qualify for VA Education benefits!  Click here to find out where to apply for VA education benefits, and for information on how to begin using your benefits at Kodiak College.

Students receiving VA benefits are also eligible to apply for federal financial aid, and may also apply for scholarships.

Thank you for your service!
